CALENDAR.

Application filerl October 21, 1927.. Serial in. 227,736.

Myinvention relates to calendars and par tntuiarly to a "form of calendar or a perpetual nature wherein the days of the month can be indicatedby a comparatively large numeral which is carried on a sliding plate within a casing. 'lhecasing o'l the calendar is adapted to contain allot the plates which indica e all or the days of the year and the casing is rotativelymounted on apair of standards or by suitable means to support the casing in an attractii'e manner. I

A feature of the invention resides in a base portion which is adapted to cooperate with I the casing in indicating the particular month and name of the'day, and the particular year it it is desired. Ordinarily the year does not have to be indicated, thus the calendar may be'made in the term of a perpetual calendar.

My invention includes a particular feature in providing calendar of the general nature 7 de cribed, being a collapsible or folding construction whereby the casing may be supporti permits the same to be folded into a small space so that the calendar can be'put away in the drawer of a desk when it desired. 7 These objects, together with other details of the invention will be more fully and clearly I set forth in the specification and claims.

In the drawings Figure 1 is a perspective view of my calendar as "it would appear in use.

Figure 2 is a side view of the same illustrating the folding in dotted outlines.

Figure 3 is a sectional view oi the rotor and casing. i

In. the drawings 1 have illustrated my perpetual calendar A having a base portion B and a rotative casing C which contains a series of plates 10 which are slidably arranged within the casing in a manner'so asto indi cate each day of the month. This permits the calendar to beset so thatit will indicate the particular day and month of the year.

i The base B is provided with a series of 1 discs 11, 12' and 13, which may indicate the lar yearrespectively.

day, the month of the year, and the particuf is also the casing'C which forms the rotorandday indicatorof the calenda' A. The

casing? C is supported by a-pa-ir of standards 14 are .ip ivotally connected by the knobs 15 on each side oft-he casing C. The

standards 14. may be joined. together along;

The base B is ofa flat compactnature as" the bottom by thefmember 16 andby means of the pins 17 which operate in the slots 18 so that thecasing C may be laid down into the dotted portionillustrated-in Figure 2; to permitthe calendar to befolded into a very compact form. with the casing C laying across the base B. When the casing C is laid down as illustrated in dotted outline in Figure Zythepins 17 will raise in the slots 1.8 which are formedin theear members 19 projecting upwardly, from ,thebase B. When thecalendar casing- 0 is set upright as-illustrated in Figures 1 and2 in 'fulllines, then s the pins .17. will drop into' t he lower end of the slot 18. It is preferred thatthe ears 19 will engage thesides of-the standards 14 by springtension so thatwhen the standards are set upright in between the ears, 19; they will be heldas illustrated in Figures and 2 suihciently rigid to support the casing C so that it can rot-ate on the knobs 15. i

This provides a very desirable calendar which may be folded into a compact state so that it can be put away in the users desk or may be packed in small packages for shipment or mailing. i j

Thus I provide a very desirable perpetual calendar which may be set to the particular day, month and year and having the advantage of folding into a nature flat and compact to permit easy'handling and shipping of the same. p The casing C which forms the rotor in my display device for perpetual"calendar A is provided with a series (if-plates 10 and these plates are slidably arranged within sald cas ing in a manner sothat they can have places in the casing or rotorand be vislble through. a display opening in the side of therotoras is clearly illustrated in Figure 1 and the 09 sitionof theplates 10 are illustrated in Figure a a o i I In accordance with the patent statutes'I 9 have described the principles o fmy -i:'olding perpetual calendar, however, I desire to have I against the base into a comparatively flat a base, a rotative casing adapted to indicate the particular day, means'tor supporting said casing, in-a manner to permit the same to rotate When held in upright posltion and means to permit it to lie flat against the base when folded together;

2. 'A perpetual calendar including a rotor 7 to indicate the day of the month,va base and means for supporting the rotor With the base n a manner to permitthe toldlng of the same compact state. a v i 3. 'A calendar including a rotor adapted to indicate numerals which designate the day of the month, a standard for supporting said rotor in operative position, a base for said ill standard and means adapted to hold said vstandard in upright or folded down position so that said calendar canbe folded flat When not in use.

4. A perpetual calendar having an upright member adapted to form a rotor to indicate the day of the month, a base adapted to co operate With the rotor to support the same,

' means adapted to indicate the year, month and name of the day in the base, and means for supporting the rotor with the base in a manner to permit the rotor to be folded down comparatively flat on the base;

5. An article including a rotor pivotaily secured in a manner to permit the rotor to be turned over to display the different sides thereof, openings therein, indicators Within the rotor adapted to be displayed through said openings in said rotor, and means for supporting the rotor to a base in a manner so that the rotor may be folded down on the base When not in use.

6. A display device comprising a rotor in cluding a casing having display'members held therein, an opening in said casing through which said display members are visible, means for supporting said rotor in an upright position to permit the same to rotate,

and means for pivotally holdingsaid'supporting means to permit the rotor to be laid down comparatively flat When not 1111166.

7. A display-device including, a oomparatively flat casing, a serles of display members Within said casing, an opening to disclose said display members, a'supporting standard i adapted to pivotally support said casing, to permit the same torotate and means for pivotally and slidably supporting said standard to permit the same to be folded with the C2184 ing into a comparatively fiat state.

8. A display device having a rotatable display casing including a series of slidable display members adapted to slide into difierent positions as said casing is rotated to display different sides of said display members, a

base adapted to support said rotatable casing, said base including a series of display members adapted to cooperate With the dis play members in said rotatable casing to completethe display, pivoted standards for supporting said rotatable easing, whereby said rotatable easing may be held upright on said base and folded over fiat into a compact state against said base.
